I love the line about having the wedding outside in all of God's glory. I like the idea but we are getting married in the middle of July and I am afraid it will be REALLY hot. We have already been asked by several member's of his family which church we will be getting married in, so it is a BIG deal to them. The other option we thought of was to go to the courthouse that morning and get married there, then have a ceremony at the church (if the church has issues with us living together before marriage and blah blah blah). We have plenty of time to figure it out, since we aren't getting married until 7.11.09 but I would really like to book the church soon. I guess all we can do is ask and see what they say and go on from there. Thanks!
